10 Nov / Very Special Holiday Cards in The Spirit of Hope

Believe it or not, the holiday season is quickly approaching! This means that everyone is scurrying to get out their holiday cards. The holidays are about giving, so this year, when shopping for your cards, why not send out a card that inspires others?

Ovations for the Cure of Ovarian Cancer worked with Sabre to develop a series of holiday cards that delivers the spirit of hope to change the impact of ovarian cancer. Ovations is a non-profit organization that devotes their time to succeed in their mission of creating awareness about the “symptoms of ovarian cancer in an effort to improve earlier detection and thus better outcomes for women who have ovarian cancer.” All of their proceeds are donated to research, awareness and patient programs.

Four years ago, the founder of Ovations, Patricia Franchi Flaherty, came to Gary Soprano, the president and co-founder of Sabre Digital Creative and expressed her desire to develop a holiday card with the Ovations’ logo incorporated in the design. She had seen other cancer organizations with holiday cards and thought it was important to reach out to others about Ovations’ mission during this time of giving.

The Sabre creative team developed seven different designs for the holiday cards. Each card featured a custom illustration or design that incorporated the Ovations symbol of hope—the teal butterfly. To accentuate the design and message, Sabre produced the cards utilizing specialty papers, unique printing processes such as foil stamping, and craft packaging for the finishing touch. More importantly, each card delivered the organization’s spirit of hope message to garner the support of everyone who received an Ovations’ holiday card, to help change the face of ovarian cancer.

So this year, when you’re choosing your holiday cards, send your friends and family an inspiring card to benefit others that will stand out on the mantle of their fireplace.
